Review
There will be hundreds of books published in the next two weeks in preparation for Christmas, but if you want one that you know will well received by any walker on this side of the Lake District then it's this one. (Whitehaven News )
Wainwright would certainly have approved of this reworking. (Cumbria )
In view of the large number of amendments to this revised edition of Book 7, I feel that even if [Wainwright Society] members have the original guide, it makes practical sense to purchase the revised version if only for the number of route changes. For a modest outlay, walkers can have the most up-to-date guide to the western fells. (Footsteps )

Product Description
The Western Fells lie within a wide sector, driving deep into the heart of Lakeland at Sty Head. They are bounded in the north-west by the Cocker valley, 'jewelled by the lovely lakes of Buttermere and Crummock Water'. South-west their boundary is Wasdale, running towards the sea. The rugged territory around Sty Head is crowded with fine peaks: the hoary old favourite, Great Gable, the magnificent Pillar, the fascinating Haystacks and the exhilarating spine of the High Stile ridge. Further west the slopes are smooth and rounded, declining into grassy foothills and rolling sheep pastures - terrrain described by Wainwright as splendid walking country, but comparatively unexciting and unfrequented. This second edition of The Western Fells has been brilliantly revised by Chris Jesty, a trained cartographer who worked with Wainwright on some of the maps in his later large-format guides. All footpaths have been rewalked, all routes checked, all maps and text updated. Paths and routes are picked out in red to make them easier to follow, and parking information is included. This new edition of the classic walking guide is Wainwright for the 21st century.

2nd Edition of the Wainwright Series (final volume - Western Fells),
By
This review is from: The Western Fells - Second Edition (Pictorial Guides) (Hardcover)
Excellent.The series of 7 books enhances the pleasure of walking the Fells. This 2nd Edition offers the security of a recent update and route inspection. The drawings incorporate colour (red) for paths - a distinct benefit. We have walked 130 of the Wainwright peaks so far and would not dream of setting off without the appropriate 'book'. Compact and easy to carry.

Updated Wainwright Guides,
This review is from: The Western Fells - Second Edition (Pictorial Guides) (Hardcover)
I love these guides. They bring the mountains alive with their rich commentaries. I now always take the relevant book with me when I climb any Wainwright. I am hoping to climb them all!
